Someone Said

 

Someone said

that someone said

then that becomes

what we are fed,

and based on that

we are mislead

the truth gets lost

when lies are read,

Repeating words

untruly said

apparently

is the new fad,

it's better if

we'd leave unsaid

and only say

the truth instead.

Succinct and satisfying. An admirable combination.
